Ingredients
- 1 cup rosé wine (or sparkling rosé)
- 1/2 cup berry juice (strawberry, raspberry, or berry blend)
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- Edible glitter or sanding sugar (optional, for garnish)
- For non-alcoholic version: replace rosé with sparkling grape juice or pink lemonade
- For vegan version: substitute 2 teaspoons agar-agar for gelatin (follow package directions)
Instructions
- Set gummy bear molds on a sheet pan or tray for easy transport. Prepare dropper or spoon.
- Pour rosé wine and berry juice into a small saucepan. Add lemon juice if using. Heat gently over low until just warm (do not boil).
- Sprinkle granulated sugar into the liquid and whisk until dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle gelatin evenly over the warm liquid. Let sit for 1 minute to bloom, then whisk gently until fully dissolved (about 4-5 minutes). Mixture will thicken and turn glossy.
- Stir in edible glitter or food coloring if desired.
- Working quickly, use a dropper or spoon to fill each gummy bear mold to the top.
- Transfer tray with molds to the fridge. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until bears are firm and bouncy.
- Carefully unmold the gummy bears. If they stick, gently press from the back or freeze molds for 10 minutes before unmolding.
- Arrange on a platter or in jars for serving or gifting.
- For vegan bears, substitute agar-agar and follow the same steps, filling molds quickly as agar sets faster.
Notes
Do not boil the rosé; heat just until warm to preserve flavor and texture. Bloom gelatin fully for smooth, bouncy bears. Fill molds quickly as mixture thickens while cooling. For vegan or kid-friendly versions, swap gelatin for agar-agar and rosé for juice. Store gummies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. Use heart or star molds for fun shapes.
